In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Friend 2 - well, I entered the office, found a man sitting on a large black leather chair with feet resting on the table....
He pointed towards his laptop, asked me to take it and go outside, then come back and try to sell him the laptop..
he thought himself as actor Leonardo Di Caprio of "The wolf of wall street" movie..
So I took the laptop and left..
Friend 1- left...!! Then what?
Friend 2- nothing 30 minutes later he called me up... begging me to return his laptop to him coz all his work and important documents were in it.....
